December 2019—Menarini Silicon Biosystems launched MSBiosuite, a cloud-based solution that automates next-generation-sequencing data analysis for liquid biopsy and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded workflows. The solution, developed in partnership with BlueBee, provides NGS data processing, analysis, interpretation, and reporting for users of Menarini NGS library preparation kits. A clinical interpretation report is available optionally with the Ampli1 and DEPArray OncoSeek pipelines.
The company also introduced the Ampli1 Onco-Seek Panel, an NGS library preparation kit, for Illumina platforms. The panel allows simultaneous detection of single nucleotide variants, indels, and focal copy number amplification in 60 clinically relevant, oncology-related genes starting from DNA amplified with the Ampli1 WGA kit.
